Oneworld Publications Justice and Beauty in Muslim Marriage
Book SynopsisMany contemporary Muslim family laws rest on patriarchal concepts. The time for change is now.The model of marriage constructed in classical Islamic jurisprudence rests on patriarchal ethics that privilege men. This worldview persists in gender norms and family laws in many Muslim contexts, despite reforms introduced over the past few decades. In this volume, a diverse group of scholars explore how egalitarian marital relations can be supported from within Islamic tradition. Brought together by the Musawah movement for equality and justice in the Muslim family, they examine ethics and laws related to marriage and gender relations from the perspective of the Qur’an, Sunna, Muslim legal tradition, historical practices and contemporary law reform processes. Collectively they conceptualize how Muslim marriages can be grounded in equality, mutual well-being and the core Qur’anic principles of ‘adl (justice) and ihsan (goodness anTrade Review‘This exciting collection of essays by an impressive array of experts takes Musawah’s mission from the critique of injustice and patriarchy in Muslim marriages and family laws to the building of a vision that yearns and works for divinely inspired justice and beauty in Muslim families and communities. The book is bold, radical, and groundbreaking. It will be an indispensable tool for Muslim activists the world over.’ -- Juliane Hammer, Associate Professor, Department of Religious Studies, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill‘Justice and Beauty in Muslim Marriage addresses the ethical emptiness and lack of poetic sensibility in the patriarchal discourse on women’s rights… The findings of the book, that Muslim marriage laws and normativity are not in line with contemporary understandings of justice, promise a hermeneutic shift towards egalitarian legislation and pluralist normativity.’ -- Muhammad Khalid Masud, former Chairman, Council of Islamic Ideology, Pakistan, and former Academic Director, International Institute for the Study of Islam in the Modern World, Leiden University‘Teeming with provocative and restorative ideas, this book reframes the practice of marriage as it is lived in all its complexities. Drawing on tradition and experience, marriage now becomes a wholesome way of self-fulfillment as expressed by these courageous authors. It is a very timely intervention and much needed. A must-read.’ -- Ebrahim Moosa, Mirza Family Chair of Islamic Thought and Muslim Societies, University of Notre Dame

Cambridge University Press Global Corpse Politics
Book SynopsisWhat makes a photograph of a dead body obscene? Auchter offers a genealogy of obscenity that argues this process is highly political. She explores how and why some images are framed as ethically necessary to view, while others are displayed as spectacles, and others deemed too graphic for viewing.Trade Review'In this stunning, brilliantly written, empirically rich and courageously incisive book, Jessica Auchter examines how an 'obscenity taboo' inconsistently governs and disciplines how the dead in international politics are seen. Such inconsistency tells us something about various layers of political community in global politics. Yet this electrifying study tells us even more, about how, paradoxically, the dead re-humanize, de-humanize, and functionally shape global politics for the living.' Brent J. Steele, Professor and Francis D. Wormuth Presidential Chair of Political Science, The University of Utah'In this stunning book, Auchter undertakes a meticulous exploration of the politics of obscenity, particularly as obscenity relates to dead bodies. Global Corpse Politics brings troubling and challenging questions into discussions on visual politics and the politics of representation. Throughout the book, Auchter explains with astonishing clarity, audacity, humility, and often poignancy how decisions with regards to 'dead body images' are always political choices. These decisions partake of the global politics of the obscene, and they repeatedly reframe the relationship between death–and its visual rendition–and what it means to be human. Global Corpse Politics is a masterful work of critical scholarship that must be read by many, irrespective of their disciplinary backgrounds or intellectual interests.' François Debrix, Director of the ASPECT program and Professor of Political Science, Virginia Tech'What can the dead tell us about global politics? In this thoughtful and considerate book, Jessica Auchter refuses to see dead bodies as the grisly remnants of global politics. Instead, she explains how corpses work to constitute global politics, focusing particular attention on how dead bodies have been used to both re-humanise and de-humanise the people that populate international landscape. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in images of death that circulate in the media because it provides the theoretical tools we need to understand how death is seen, whose deaths are seen, and what these death reveal about the living world we inhabit.' Thomas Gregory, Senior Lecturer, University of AucklandTable of Contents1. Visualizing corpse politics; 2. Horrifically graphic: the obscene corpse; 3. The visual politics of ISIS beheadings; 4. Dead terrorists and dead dictators; 5. Proof of death: evidence and atrocity; 6. Displaying the dead body: Some conclusions.

Cambridge University Press Nothing More than Freedom
Book SynopsisAfter examining more than 700 lawsuits decided by the supreme courts of former slave states, Giuliana Perrone asserts that slavery remained actionable in American law well after its ostensible demise. An important study for scholars of slavery and the US Civil War.Trade Review'The monumental history of Emancipation and Reconstruction is irresistible, but it can be deceptive. Giuliana Perrone directs us to the quieter lanes of American common law discourse, where the bitter realities of abolition's adjudication are to be found - the 'smaller, private legal matters' that piled up routinely, remorselessly, in the shadow of slavery. Those of us who wonder at Reconstruction's rejection and Emancipation's dire legacy can learn much from this eloquent history of legal failure.' Christopher Tomlins, author of In the Matter of Nat Turner: A Speculative History'Nothing More Than Freedom is the first comprehensive history of state appellate law, where the afterlife of slavery lasted for decades. Giuliana Perrone shows us that even the supposed common-law rights of property and contract were limited by previous enslavement across former slave states, where the badges of servitude outlived emancipation.' Ariela Gross, co-author of Becoming Free, Becoming Black: Race, Freedom, and Law in Cuba, Virginia, and Louisiana'Nothing More than Freedom is a fresh and provocative take on legal change at a crucial juncture in American history. Judges who confronted slavery's demise in the aftermath of the Civil War made active choices about whether to adjust legal rules to accommodate this transformation in minimal ways or to root the edifice of slavery entirely out of the law.' Cynthia Nicoletti, author of Secession on Trial: The Treason Prosecution of Jefferson Davis'Perrone delivers an unflinching look at how American judges perpetuated the vestiges of slavery through state-based private law, fatally undermining the abolitionist promise of the Reconstruction Amendments. Now, when so many are entranced by the fiction of colorblindness, Perrone's excavation of ongoing slavery-based logics in American law and commerce is a welcome counterpoint.' Dylan C. Penningroth, author of The Claims of Kinfolk: African American Property and Community in the Nineteenth-Century South'… a rigorous, essential work of legal history, far from easy reading but fascinating throughout. … Highly recommended.' P. Harvey, ChoiceTable of ContentsIntroduction: an abolitionist vision; 1. The contract controversy; 2. 'Wreck and ruin'; 3. 'By force it was destroyed'; 4. Confederate reckonings; 5. Life after the death of slavery; 6. 'Back into the days of slavery'; 7. 'The grave question'; 8. Final failure; Epilogue: an abolitionist revision.
